< Jeremia 38 >

1 Nao Shefatia mũrũ wa Matani, na Gedalia mũrũ wa Pashuri, na Jehukali mũrũ wa Shemalia, o na Pashuri mũrũ wa Malikija nĩmaiguire ũrĩa Jeremia eeraga andũ othe, rĩrĩa oigire atĩrĩ,
瑪堂的兒子舍法提雅,帕市胡爾的兒子革達里雅,舍肋米雅的兒子猶加耳,瑪耳基雅的兒子帕市胡爾聽見耶肋米亞向全體人民講話說:「
2 “Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Mũndũ ũrĩa wothe ũgũikara itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene nĩakooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, kana ngʼaragu, kana mũthiro, no ũrĩa ũgwĩtwara kũrĩ andũ a Babuloni nĩagatũũra muoyo. Nĩakahonokia muoyo wake; nĩagatũũra muoyo.’
上主這樣說:凡留在這城裏的,必死於刀劍、饑荒和瘟疫;凡出降加色丁人的,必能生存:獲得生命如得戰利品一樣,可得生存。
3 Ningĩ, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene no nginya rĩkaneanwo kũrĩ mbũtũ cia ita cia mũthamaki wa Babuloni, ũrĩa ũkaarĩtunyana.’”
上主這樣說:這座城市必交在巴比倫王軍隊的手中,他必佔領這座城市。」
4 Hĩndĩ ĩyo anene makĩĩra mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ ũyũ aagĩrĩire ooragwo. Nĩaratũma thigari iria itigaire gũkũ itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene ciĩtigĩre, o ũndũ ũmwe na andũ aya othe, nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ macio arameera. Mũndũ ũyũ ndarĩ ũndũ mwega areciirĩria andũ aya tiga o ũũru.”
眾首長就對君王說:「請將這人處死! 因為他說出了這樣使遺留在城裏的戰士和全體人民喪志的話;實在,這人謀求的,不是人民的福利,而是人民的災禍。」
5 Mũthamaki Zedekia agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Arĩ moko-inĩ manyu; mũthamaki ndangĩgirĩrĩria mwĩke ũrĩa inyuĩ mũkwenda.”
漆德克雅王答說:「看,他已經在們手中;君王不能反對你們。」
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩnyiita Jeremia makĩmũikia irima rĩa maaĩ rĩa Malikija, ũrĩa mũrũ wa mũthamaki, rĩrĩa rĩarĩ kũu nja ĩyo ya arangĩri. Magĩikũrũkia Jeremia irima rĩu rĩa maaĩ na mĩkanda; no rĩtiarĩ na maaĩ, no mũtondo rĩarĩ, nake Jeremia agĩtoonyerera kũu mũtondo-inĩ ũcio.
他們便將耶肋米亞丟在王子瑪耳基雅在監獄庭院裏有的蓄水池內,用繩將他放下去;池內沒有水,只有污泥;耶肋米亞就陷在污泥裏。
7 No rĩrĩ, Ebedi-Meleku ũrĩa Mũkushi, ũmwe wa arĩa mehokeirwo wĩra wa kũu nyũmba-inĩ ya ũthamaki, nĩaiguire atĩ nĩmaikĩtie Jeremia irima rĩu rĩa maaĩ. Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki aikarĩte Kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa Benjamini,
住在王宮裏的雇士人厄貝得默肋客宦官,聽見人把耶肋米亞放在蓄水池裏。那時君王正坐在本雅明門旁,
8 Ebedi-Meleku akiuma hau nja ya nyũmba ya ũthamaki, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
厄貝得默肋客就從王宮出來,稟告君王說:
9 “Mũthamaki mwathi wakwa, andũ aya nĩmekĩte ũũru nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ maya mothe mekĩte Jeremia ũrĩa mũnabii. Nĩmamũikĩtie irima rĩa maaĩ, akuĩre kuo nĩ ngʼaragu, tondũ mĩgate ĩkirie gũthira gũkũ itũũra-inĩ inene.”
「我主君王! 這些人對先知耶肋米亞作的事,實在毒辣;他們竟將他丟在蓄水池裏,在那裏他必要餓死,因為城中沒有糧食了! 」
10 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mũthamaki agĩatha Ebedi-Meleku ũcio Mũkushi, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ: “Oya andũ mĩrongo ĩtatũ kuuma haha mũthiĩ nao mũkarute Jeremia ũcio mũnabii kuuma irima rĩu rĩa maaĩ atanakua.”
王便命雇士人厄貝得默肋客說:「你立即帶三個人去,將耶肋米亞先知,趁他還沒有死,從蓄水池裏拉出來! 」
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Ebedi-Meleku akĩoya andũ acio, agĩthiĩ nao, nao magĩtoonya kanyũmba kaarĩ rungu rwa harĩa haaigagwo mũthiithũ wa indo cia bata kũu thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya ũthamaki. Akĩoya ndangari imwe cia nguo ngũrũ, na nguo iria nduĩku ciarĩ kuo, agĩciikũrũkĩria Jeremia na mĩkanda kũu irima rĩa maaĩ.
厄貝得默肋客立即帶了一些人,回到王宮,從儲藏室拿了些破舊衣裳和破舊布片,用繩索給在蓄水池裏的耶肋米亞放下去。
12 Ebedi-Meleku ũcio Mũkushi, akĩĩra Jeremia atĩrĩ: “Ĩkĩra nguo icio ngũrũ na ndangari icio njegeeke, wĩrigĩrĩrie gũkerwo nĩ mĩkanda ĩyo.” Nake Jeremia agĩĩka o ũguo,
雇士人厄貝得默肋客對耶肋米亞說:「請把破舊的衣服和布片,放在你兩腋下,然後把繩放在下面。」耶肋米亞就這樣做了。
13 nao makĩmũguucia na mĩkanda ĩyo, makĩmũruta irima rĩu rĩa maaĩ. Nake Jeremia agĩikara kũu nja ĩyo ya arangĩri.
於是他們用繩索將耶肋米亞從蓄水池裏拉上來;這樣,耶肋米亞纔仍能住在拘留所的庭院裏。
14 Mũthamaki Zedekia agĩtũmanĩra Jeremia ũcio mũnabii, akiuga areehwo itoonyero-inĩ rĩa gatatũ rĩa hekarũ ya Jehova. Mũthamaki akĩĩra Jeremia atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũkũũria ũndũ. Nawe ndũkaahithe ũhoro o na ũrĩkũ.”
漆德克雅王派人帶耶肋米亞先知到上主殿宇第三入口處去見他。君王對耶肋米亞說:「我要問你一件事,你什麼也不可對我隱瞞! 」
15 Jeremia akĩĩra Zedekia atĩrĩ, “Ingĩkuumburĩra ũhoro-rĩ, githĩ ndũkũnjũraga? O na ingĩgũtaara-rĩ, wee ndũngĩĩthikĩrĩria.”
耶肋米亞答覆漆德克雅說:「我若稟告你,你豈不要將我處死嗎﹖我若給你出主意,你也不會聽從我! 」
16 Nake Mũthamaki Zedekia akĩĩhĩta mwĩhĩtwa na hitho harĩ Jeremia, akiuga ũũ: “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, o we ũrĩa watũheire muoyo ũyũ tũrĩ naguo-rĩ, niĩ ndigũkũũraga kana ngũneane moko-inĩ ma acio mendaga gũkũruta muoyo.”
漆德克雅王對耶肋米亞暗地發誓說:「那賜與我們這生命的上主永在,我決不將你處死,決不將你交在這些圖謀你性命者的手中。」
17 Nake Jeremia akĩĩra Zedekia atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Ngai-Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga: ‘Ũngĩĩneeana kũrĩ anene a mũthamaki wa Babuloni, muoyo waku nĩũkũhonokio, o na itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene rĩtigaacinwo; wee na andũ a nyũmba yaku nĩmũgũtũũra muoyo.
於是耶肋米亞對漆德克雅說:「萬軍的天主,以色列的天主上主這樣說:如果你出去,向巴比倫王將帥投降,你的性命必可保全,這城不至於被焚;你和你全家也必生存。
18 No ũngĩrega kwĩneana kũrĩ anene a mũthamaki wa Babuloni, itũũra rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩkũneanwo kũrĩ andũ a Babuloni, nao marĩcine na mwaki rĩthire; na wee mwene ndũkahonoka kuuma moko-inĩ mao.’”
但是如果你不出去向巴比倫王將帥投降,這城必會被交在加色丁人的手裏,由他們放火燒城,而你也逃不出他們的手。」
19 Mũthamaki Zedekia akĩĩra Jeremia atĩrĩ, “Nĩndĩretigĩra Ayahudi arĩa meneanĩte kũrĩ andũ a Babuloni, nĩ ũndũ andũ a Babuloni mahota kũũneana kũrĩ Ayahudi acio nao maanyamarie.”
漆德克雅王便對耶肋米亞說:「我很害怕那些投降加色丁人的猶太人,將我交在他們手中,任他們凌辱我。」
20 Nake Jeremia akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Matigaakũneana kũrĩ o. Wee athĩkĩra Jehova, wĩke ũguo ndĩrakwĩra. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũkona wega, naguo muoyo waku nĩũkahonokio.
耶肋米亞答說:「他們不會將你交出! 在我對你所說的事上,你只管聽上主的聲音,事必於你有利,你的性命必可保全。
21 No rĩrĩ, warega kwĩneana, ũũ nĩguo Jehova anguũrĩirie:
但是,如果你拒絕出降,這就是上主使我預見的事:
22 Andũ-a-nja othe arĩa matigaire thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya mũthamaki wa Juda nĩmagatwarĩrwo anene a mũthamaki wa Babuloni. Andũ-a-nja acio nao magaakwĩra atĩrĩ: “‘Arata acio aku wehokeete nĩmakũhĩtithirie na magĩgũkĩria hinya. Magũrũ maku nĩmatoonyereire mũtondo-inĩ; nao arata aku nĩmagũtiganĩirie.’
看,凡留在猶大王宮的一切婦女,都要被領出,交給巴比倫王的將帥,哭訴著說:對你高唱和平的友人,欺騙了你,愚弄了你;見你雙腳陷入泥淖,就轉背逃遁。
23 “Atumia aku othe na ciana ciaku nĩmakaneanwo kũrĩ andũ a Babuloni. Wee mwene ndũkehonokia moko-inĩ mao, no nĩũkanyiitwo nĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni; narĩo itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene nĩrĩgacinwo rĩthire.”
你的妻子兒女,都要被領出,交給加色丁人;連你也逃不出他們的手,終於被巴比倫王捉去;至於這城,必要被火焚毀。」
24 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Zedekia akĩĩra Jeremia atĩrĩ, “Ndũkareke mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ amenye ũhoro wa mĩario ĩno, ndũkae kũũragwo.
於是漆德克雅對耶肋米亞說:「任何陽不得知道這些話,否則你就該死!
25 Anene mangĩigua atĩ nĩtwaranĩirie nawe, nao moke kũrĩ we makũũrie atĩrĩ, ‘Twĩre ũrĩa wĩrĩte mũthamaki, na ũrĩa nake mũthamaki akwĩrĩte; ndũgatũhithe ũndũ kana tũkũũrage,’
倘若首長們聽說我曾與你談論,而前來問你說:請你告訴我們,你對君王說了什麼﹖你不可對我們隱瞞,否則我們就要你的命! 究竟君王對你說了些什麼﹖
26 hĩndĩ ĩyo nawe ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩgũthaitha ndĩrathaithaga mũthamaki ndakae kũnjookia nyũmba-inĩ kwa Jonathani, ndigakuĩre kuo.’”
你要回答他們說:我向君王面呈我的請求,請他不要叫我再回到約納堂的家裏去,死在那裏。」
27 Anene acio othe nĩmookire kũrĩ Jeremia, makĩmũũria ũhoro ũcio, nake akĩmeera ũrĩa wothe aathĩtwo nĩ mũthamaki oige. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio matiamwĩrire ũndũ ũngĩ, nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ mũndũ waiguĩte ũrĩa maarĩtie na mũthamaki.
果然,眾首長前來質問耶肋米亞,他就全依照君王吩咐的話答覆了他們。他們對他無話可說,因為那次的談話,沒有被人竊聽了去。
28 Nake Jeremia agĩikara kũu kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa arangĩri nginya mũthenya ũrĩa itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩatunyanirwo.
這樣,耶肋米亞直到耶路撒冷淪陷的那一天,就住在拘留所的庭院裏。
